I am interested in applying to La Verne.

How much does it cost to study at La Verne?

What are the minimum English Language requirements for study at La Verne?

Please contact the Office of Admission.

I have been admitted to study in a program at La Verne, I have received my letter of admission, and I have paid the $200 non-refundable confirmation fee. When will I get my I-20?

Applicants in the U.S. will need to submit a copy of our transfer form completed by an international adviser at the school you previously attended. It is important that your previous school fills out this form and returns it to OISS. We normally give the new I-20 at orientation. If you must travel home before the first day of classes, we issue the I-20 for your travel.

Applicants in their home country will need to apply for the F-1 visa in the nearest U.S. consulate. Please check this website to find information about applying for a visa in your country. Find information about the visa process at the U.S. Consulate in your country.

I am transferring to La Verne from another institution in the U.S. How do I do this?

After you have been admitted and paid your non-refundable tuition deposit notify your current school that you intend to transfer to La Verne. Fill in your portion of the transfer clearance form and give it to the international adviser at the institution you are transferring from. You can find the form here. The form will be sent to the OISS by fax, by regular mail, or it can be hand-carried. Remember that you must complete the transfer within two weeks of the first day of classes.

When may I register for classes?

All first year undergraduate international students will do necessary testing and registration during orientation week, Tuesday August 23- Friday August 26.

Undergraduate International Students transferring from another U.S. college or university (but not a language school) will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for appropriate placement. Undergraduates, if you have questions, please contact the Advising Office at Extension 4843

Graduate International Students should contact the advisor in your respective department

I am in my home country and I have been admitted to La Verne. How will you send my I-20 to me?

We will normally send it by regular air mail, to the address on your application. If you wish to have us send it by 2- 4 day airmail (such as Federal Express or DHL), you may pay by credit card or you may have a relative or friend in the United States send us a check or money order for the shipment. You will need to ask the international student adviser about the cost of this service.

What are my options for housing while I am a student?

Do I need inoculations/immunizations or a physical health exam?

Prior to enrollment a Physical Examination Form and Immunization Record is required. Failure to submit these forms will create a hold on your account which will prevent you from registering for future classes. These documents provide us with a history of previous medical care and are the basis for your continued medical care in college. Please return these forms as soon as possible.

Instructions for Completing your Health Requirements

All completed health forms must be submitted by August 1, 2013 to Student Health Services for those entering in the Fall and by January 2, 2014 for those entering in the Spring. These forms can be accessed through our website http://laverne.edu/health-services/ scanned and e-mailed to studenthealthcenter@laverne.edu or mailed back to:

University of La Verne

Student Health Center

1950 Third Street

La Verne, CA 91750

The Physical Examination Form and Immunization Record must be completed and signed by a health care provider. It cannot be completed by a parent or student. The Health History Record and the Summary of Notice for Privacy Practices must be completed by the student. If you are a minor (under 18) at the time the forms are being completed, they must be co-signed by a parent or guardian.

The Physical Exam and TB Skin Test must be completed within the past year prior to the 1st day of classes. If you have a history of a positive TB Skin test, you will need proof of a chest x-ray within the past year.

The Tdap (Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis) vaccine must be given within the past 10 years. Td will not be accepted.
Immunization records are required to prevent outbreaks of communicable diseases on campus as well as to help recognize students who may be at risk. If your immunization records cannot be located, you have two options:

a) Re-immunization

b) A blood test to determine immunity to Measles, Mumps, and Rubella and Hepatitis B. If the blood test indicates no immunity to MMR or Hepatitis B, re-immunization will be necessary.

If you had chicken pox (Varicella) as a child, please make sure your provider indicates the month and year you had the disease. A positive Varicella titer will be accepted if no records are available. If you have NOT had chicken pox in the past, you will need to provide written documentation of two doses of the Varivax vaccine at least 28 days apart.

To fulfill the meningococcal requirement, you must have received the Meneveo or Menactra vaccine (MCV4) within the past 5 years.

For any additional questions or to schedule an appointment, please contact Student Health Services at 001 (909) 448-4619. Additional resources can be accessed through our website at http://laverne.edu/health-services/

Must I be a full-time student during all of my studies at La Verne?

There are only a few conditions under which you may take less than a full course of studies. Please contact the OISS if you have questions.
